"There is a bright moon under the water, and the bright moon floats on the water. The water flows and the moon does not go, the moon goes and the water still flows", step into the Elephant Trunk Hill Park on the cover of the elementary school textbook. Elephant Trunk Hill is one of the must-visit spots in Guilin, a symbol of Guilin's landscape, follow my lens into the landscape painting! 🌱Attraction Introduction Elephant Trunk Hill, originally named Lishan, is located at the confluence of the Peach Blossom River and the Lijiang River in Guilin City. The mountain is named for its resemblance to a giant elephant standing by the river and drinking from the Lijiang River. It is known as the symbol of Guilin's landscape. Elephant Trunk Hill is famous for its magic. Its magic lies first in its resemblance, and second in the creation of a round moon between the nose and legs, forming the spectacular scene of "Elephant Mountain Water Moon".
